8th July 2006

It's been a dull dreary day, homebound working, so I tried a few snaps of the hummingbirds on the deck. A green bird and a green background don't make for a sharp picture. If anyone is interested, I've found boiling 1 part sugar to 4 parts water more appealing to hummingbirds than over the counter food. Can't be good for their teeth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can just about see my reflection in it's eye..........

Alternative

Nikon D70s
1/320s f/8.0 at 300.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
